A new cubic equation of state for reservoir fluids

A new three-parameter cubic equation of state is developed with special attention to the application for reservoir fluids. One parameter is taken temperature dependent and others are held constant. The EOS parameters were evaluated by minimizing saturated liquid density deviation from experimental values and satisfying the equilibrium condition of equality of fugacities simultaneously. Then, these parameters were fitted against reduced temperature and Pitzer acentric factor. For calculating the thermodynamic properties of a pure component, this equation of state requires the critical temperature, the critical pressure, the acentric factor and the experimental critical compressibility of the substance. Using this equation of state, saturated liquid density, saturated vapor density and vapor pressure of pure components, especially near the critical point, are calculated accurately. The average absolute deviations of the predicted saturated liquid density, saturated vapor density and vapor pressure of pure components are 1.4%, 1.19% and 2.11%, respectively. Some thermodynamic properties of substances have also been predicted in this work.     

Paradoxes of thermodynamics of aqua-vapor-polymer interface equilibrium

Schroeder’s paradox is the different equilibrium degree of swelling for a hydrophilic polymer in saturated aqueous vapor and in liquid water; it is experimentally verified by the registration of increasing volume of spherical polymer samples upon the processes of vapor and liquid water sorption. Specimens of three main classes of hydrophilic cross-linked polymers were tested. These had gel, hypercrosslinked, and macroporous structures that differed by the scale of the Schroeder effect. A similar effect is typical also for hydrophobic polymers upon swelling in liquid organic solvents and their saturated vapor. The paradox is explained by the lower activity of a sorbate in a saturated vapor compared to its activity in a liquid phase. The ability of many samples of cross-linked polymers with different degrees of saturation with a sorbate to be at equilibrium with the saturated vapor of a sorbate is explained by the differences in the inner structure of these samples, i.e., by differing in the swelling combinations and the intensity of the interchain interactions in a polymer network.     

High pressure phase equilibrium for ethylene + 1-propanol system at 283.65 K

Phase equilibria and saturated densities for ethylene+1-propanol system at high pressures were measured using a static-circulation apparatus at 283.65 K. The equilibrium composition and saturated density of each phase were determined by using gas chromatograph and vibrating tube density meters, respectively. The saturated points near the critical region are further measured by the conventional indirect method. The present experimental results include vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE), liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE), and vapor–liquid–liquid equilibria (VLLE). The experimental data were correlated with various equations of state.

Totally inclusive cubic equation of state with five parameters for pure fluids

A totally inclusive cubic equation of state (cubic EOS) is proposed. Although, its form is fairly simple as compared with the present cubic equations, it can include all of them as special cases. The EOS has five parameters. By fitting the experimental critical isothermal for six typical substances combining the critical conditions, the generalized expressions for the five parameters at critical temperature are established. The temperature coefficients of the five parameters for 43 substances are determined by fitting the experimental data of vapor pressure and saturated liquid density. These coefficients are correlated with the critical compressibility factor and acentric factor to obtain the generalized expressions. The predicted saturated vapor pressure, saturated liquid density, critical isothermal and coexistence curve near the critical point show that the equation gives the best results when compared with the Redlich–Kwong–Soave (RKS) and Peng–Robinson (PR) EOS.     

The Use of Isothermal Heat-Conduction Calorimetry in Direct Measurements of Solvent Vapor Pressure

Principles for applying isothermal heat-conduction calorimetry for direct studies of vapor/liquid equilibria are presented. The ideas have been tested by measurements of the vapor pressure of water over aqueous NaCl(aq) solutions at 25°C. Seven different stock solutions were used with a composition ranging from 0.0879 mol-kg^–1 to saturated solution. The imprecision and inaccuracy were not dependent on the composition and were found to be about ±2 Pa over the entire composition range. The sample solution was placed in a container separated from the pure solvent which was kept in the calorimetric cell. Solvent vapor was transported isothermally between the container and the cell by means of an inert carrier gas. The vapor pressure was evaluated by measuring the heat-flow rate associated with the process where the vapor equilibrated with a NaCl(aq) solution is fully saturated by passing through pure solvent. Corrections for treating vapor phase imperfections are presented. The method was found to be fast, accurate, and easy to use. The concept developed here can easily be applied in any commercial heat-conduction calorimeter of modular design.     

Absorption spectroscopic investigation of rhodamine dye vapors

The dyes rhodamine 6G and rhodamine 19 are investigated. The dye stability versus temperature and time is studied. Bulk dye stuff is found to be less stable than dye adsorbed to the stainless steel cell walls and in the vapor phase. Rhodamine 6G converts to rhodamine 19 before evaporation. Adsorbed rhodamine 19 and rhodamine 19 vapor disintegrate most likely into 2,7-dimethylrhodamine 110 at elevated temperatures (> 320°C). For rhodamine 19 vapor the absorption spectrum, the saturated vapor density and the latent heat of evaporation are determined. The vapor absorption spectra of rhodamine 19 and 2,7-dimethylrhodamine 110 are compared with solution spectra.     

A new cubic equation of state for simple fluids: pure and mixture

A two-parameter cubic equation of state is developed. Both parameters are taken temperature dependent. Methods are also suggested to calculate the attraction parameter and the co-volume parameter of this new equation of state. For calculating the thermodynamic properties of a pure compound, this equation of state requires the critical temperature, the critical pressure and the Pitzer’s acentric factor of the component. Using this equation of state, the vapor pressure of pure compounds, especially near the critical point, and the bubble point pressure of binary mixtures are calculated accurately. The saturated liquid density of pure compounds and binary mixtures are also calculated quite accurately. The average of absolute deviations of the predicted vapor pressure, vapor volume and saturated liquid density of pure compounds are 1.18, 1.77 and 2.42%, respectively. Comparisons with other cubic equations of state for predicting some thermodynamic properties including second virial coefficients and thermal properties are given. Moreover, the capability of this equation of state for predicting the molar heat capacity of gases at constant pressure and the sound velocity in gases are also illustrated.

Hydrodynamic interactions of evaporating droplet with plane liquid surface

The hydrodynamic interactions between freely evaporating or growing droplet suspended in gas and the infinite plane liquid layer is theoretically studied with allowance for effects that are linear with respect to the Knudsen number. It is assumed that substances comprising droplet and liquid layer are identical, and it is taken into account that these substances can contain dissolved nonvolatile component whose concentration is so low that its presence should necessarily be accounted for only in the calculation of the concentration of saturated vapor. Vapor pressure at large distance from the droplet was assumed to be equal to the pressure of saturated vapor above the plane liquid surface. Results of numerical calculations of the rate of steady motion of water droplet evaporating or growing in the air are reported.

Melt–Vapor Phase Diagram of the Te–S System

The values of partial pressure of saturated vapor of the constituents of the Те–S system are determined from boiling points. The boundaries of the melt–vapor phase transition at atmospheric pressure and in vacuum of 2000 and 100 Pa are calculated on the basis of partial pressures. A phase diagram that includes vapor–liquid equilibrium fields whose boundaries allow us to assess the behavior of elements upon distillation fractioning is plotted. It is established that the separation of elements is possible at the first evaporation–condensation cycle. Complications can be caused by crystallization of a sulfur solid solution in tellurium.

The value and temperature dependence of the heat capacity of saturated water vapor are studied. It is shown that the behavior of the heat capacity is determined by the formation of dimers, tetramers, and higher-order clusters, and by excitation of the hydrogen bond vibrations within these clusters. The temperature regions that correspond to water vapor as (a) a mixture of monomers and dimmers and (b) as a mixture of monomers, dimmers, and tetramers, are determined.     

In Situ Direct Measurement of Vapor Pressures and Thermodynamic Parameters of Volatile Organic Materials in the Vapor Phase: Benzoic Acid,Ferrocene, and Naphthalene

We report the direct determination of vapor pressures and optical and thermodynamic parameters of powders of low‐volatile materials in their vapor phase using a commercial UV/Vis spectrometer. This methodology is based on the linear proportionality between the density of the saturated gas of the material and the absorbance of the gas at different temperatures. The vapor pressure values determined for benzoic acid and ferrocene are in good agreement with those reported in the literature with ～2–7 % uncertainty. Thermodynamic parameters of benzoic acid, ferrocene, and naphthalene are determined in situ at temperatures below their melting points. The sublimation enthalpies of the investigated organic molecules are in excellent agreement with the ICTAC recommended values (less than 1 % difference). This method has been used to measure vapor pressures and thermodynamic parameters of organic volatile materials with vapor pressures of ～0.5–355 Pa in the 50–100 °C temperature range.
